If it's an 11000 then it's likely they are not laquered. This means scotch bright then solvol autosol and mucho elbow grease. If it's an 1150 then the wheels are laquered and AFAIK there is no cure because water has got under the laquer and unless you get the laquer of it's impossible to get rid of.

Serves you right for polishing it!
I keep telling people that it's bad for them, but will anyone listen?

Is it a new GS? I've just got a new '07 GS with spoked wheels. The rims are quite polished (laquered I guess?) and I just use non-abrasive car wax (Meguiars) on them. Just wondered if you've used an abrasive polish that has somehow damaged the laquer?
